The Black Seeds - Dust and Dirt

Originating from Wellington, New Zealand, The Black Seeds have carved out their reputation through platinum selling albums, a masterful 8-piece live show, and a unique sound that fuses infectious grooves and melodies with undiluted roots music. Led by the vocals of Barnaby Weir and Daniel Weetman, The Black Seeds music is a boundary-crossing sound fusion of big-beat funk, dub, soul, and afro-beat, mixed with vintage roots-reggae.

Their legendary 8-piece live show brings the raw energy and good vibes wherever it goes. Personal triumphs and failures, the fear of love, death, apathy, and relationships, give a personal insight into the lives of the musicians. Ultimately though, their songs are always under-pinned with an underlying positivity and optimism. Headquarters is, and always has been, the Surgery Studio in Wellington – a city with a small, close-knit creative community, which in recent years has become more popular by the Lord Of The Rings.

The long awaited follow up to 2008’s Solid Ground, Dust And Dirt marks an exciting new chapter for the multi-platinum selling Wellington band.

Self recorded and produced in their Wellington studio, the album introduces new styles not heard on previous releases. Dust And Dirt will be available from all good retailers on digital, CD, and heavy weight double vinyl from 9 April.
